We made this film with a sense of humor and wanted people to enjoy it for what it is and not take it too seriously. Understandably we were quite anxious when we were putting out the trailer. Now we are relieved and excited. It`s amazing how people took to this subject and treatment. The response to the trailer has been unbelievably positive! We knew we had a very cool trailer in hand. But we didn`t expect this amazing and spontaneous response to it! We are now very excited, and looking forward to the release... Because there`s much more from where the trailer has come from :).”

This film is going to be the first of its kind in India.” Saif and Dinesh Vijan are producing this film under their banner Illuminati Films along with Sunil Lulla of Eros International.
